Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the variables a and b in the formula are the legs and c is the hypotenuse. So that means that 15 and x are the legs and 17 is the hypotenuse. Plug those numbers where they go in the formula like below:

15^2+x^2=17^2

Go ahead and square the 15 and 17 to simplify it a little.

225+x^2=289

Now, get the x by itself by subtracting 225 from each side

x^2=64

Take the square root of each side to remove the squared on x and solve.

x=8

2(a³+b²+11)+1(3+a³+b+11)

Ann [662]

Answer:

$2(a^3+b^2+11)+1(3+a^3+b+11)=3a^3+2b^2+b+36$

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume that you need simplification of the given expression.

The given expression is:

$2(a^3+b^2+11)+1(3+a^3+b+11)$

Using distributive property and multiplying 2 inside the parenthesis and 1 inside the other parenthesis. This gives,

$2(a^3+b^2+11)=2\times a^3+2\times b^2+2\times 11\\2(a^3+b^2+11)=2a^3+2b^2+22\\\\1(3+a^3+b+11)=1\times 3+1\times a^3+1\times b+1\times 11\\1(3+a^3+b+11)=3+a^3+b+11=a^3+b+14$
